Deque iterator() method in Java

The iterator() method of Deque Interface returns an iterator over the elements in this deque in a proper sequence. The elements will be returned in order from first (head) to last (tail). The returned iterator is a “weakly consistent” iterator.

Syntax:

Iterator iterator()

Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Returns: This method returns an iterator over the elements in this deque in a proper sequence.

Below programs illustrate iterator() method of Deque:

Program 1: With the help of ArrayDeque.

// Java Program Demonstrate iterator()
// method of Deque
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IllegalStateException
    {

        // create object of Deque
        Deque<Integer> DQ
            = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();

        // Add numbers to end of Deque
        DQ.add(7855642);
        DQ.add(35658786);
        DQ.add(5278367);
        DQ.add(74381793);

        // Call iterator() method of Deque
        Iterator iteratorVals = DQ.iterator();

        // Print elements of iterator
        // created from Deque
        System.out.println("The iterator values"
                           + " of Deque are:");

        // prints the elements using an iterator
        while (iteratorVals.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(iteratorVals.next());
        }
    }
}

Output:

The iterator values of Deque are:
7855642
35658786
5278367
74381793

Program 2: With the help of LinkedList.

// Java Program Demonstrate iterator()
// method of Deque
import java.util.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IllegalStateException
    {

        // create object of Deque
        Deque<Integer> DQ
            = new LinkedList<Integer>();

        // Add numbers to end of Deque
        DQ.add(7855642);
        DQ.add(35658786);
        DQ.add(5278367);
        DQ.add(74381793);

        // Call iterator() method of Deque
        Iterator iteratorVals = DQ.iterator();

        // Print elements of iterator
        // created from Deque
        System.out.println("The iterator values"
                           + " of Deque are:");

        // prints the elements using an iterator
        while (iteratorVals.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(iteratorVals.next());
        }
    }
}

Output:

The iterator values of Deque are:
7855642
35658786
5278367
74381793

Program 3: With the help of LinkedBlockingDeque.

// Java Program Demonstrate iterator()
// method of Deque
import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.LinkedBlockingDeque;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IllegalStateException
    {

        // create object of Deque
        Deque<Integer> DQ
            = new LinkedBlockingDeque<Integer>();

        // Add numbers to end of Deque
        DQ.add(7855642);
        DQ.add(35658786);
        DQ.add(5278367);
        DQ.add(74381793);

        // Call iterator() method of Deque
        Iterator iteratorVals = DQ.iterator();

        // Print elements of iterator
        // created from Deque
        System.out.println("The iterator values"
                           + " of Deque are:");

        // prints the elements using an iterator
        while (iteratorVals.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(iteratorVals.next());
        }
    }
}

Output:

The iterator values of Deque are:
7855642
35658786
5278367
74381793

Program 4: With the help of ConcurrentLinkedDeque.

// Java Program Demonstrate iterator()
// method of Deque
import java.util.*;
import java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentLinkedDeque;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
        throws IllegalStateException
    {

        // create object of Deque
        Deque<Integer> DQ
            = new ConcurrentLinkedDeque<Integer>();

        // Add numbers to end of Deque
        DQ.add(7855642);
        DQ.add(35658786);
        DQ.add(5278367);
        DQ.add(74381793);

        // Call iterator() method of Deque
        Iterator iteratorVals = DQ.iterator();

        // Print elements of iterator
        // created from Deque
        System.out.println("The iterator values"
                           + " of Deque are:");

        // prints the elements using an iterator
        while (iteratorVals.hasNext()) {
            System.out.println(iteratorVals.next());
        }
    }
}

Output:

The iterator values of Deque are:
7855642
35658786
5278367
